Kingdom of Gladstone

The Kingdom of Gladstone is a small fiefdom sitting in and around Kansas City, led by King Eagan I.

Geography and Trivia

The Kingdom's capital is Kansas City, one of the few cities of its kind. The central portion is walled, harkening to the castles of old. Most of the surrounding area is farmland, excepting some portions of the suburbs, which had been demolished for more farmland and some minor industrial capacity. The Kingdom's borders extend nearly circular around the capital, with a 50 mile radius. The Kingdom is surrounded by a regularly-patrolled, barbed wire fence to keep out infected and discourage bandits.
